Isoniazid.induced Thrombocytopenia in a Patient with Ocular Tuberculosis

Antitubercular therapy (ATT)-induced thrombocytopenia is a rare and serious adverse drug reaction which may be fatal if not identified timely. Although rifampicin is the common culprit ATT causing thrombocytopenia, other ATTs such as isoniazid have also been reported to cause thrombocytopenia. Here, we report a case of isoniazid-induced thrombocytopenia in a 56-year-old female with ocular tuberculosis who developed multiple purpura on both upper limbs, face, and oral cavity. Her condition improved with the withdrawal of isoniazid.

The equity conciliation in the face forced displacement. Reflections on the possibilities and limits

El objetivo del texto es analizar las posibilidades y límites de producción del campo jurídico de la justicia comunitaria en Colombia, en especial el desarrollo de procesos de conciliación en equidad, en el marco de condiciones sociales y poblaciones fracturadas por dinámicas de despojo y desplazamiento forzado. La reflexión es realizada a partir del acumulado investigativo en algunos estudios de caso en la Costa Caribe donde se realizaron procesos de conciliación en equidad, específicamente en los sectores de Loma de Peyé y el Pozón, ubicados en la ciudad de Cartagena, y Siete de abril y el Bosque, ubicados en la ciudad de Barranquilla.

O impeachment no Estado democrático de direito brasileiro

Diante do processo que levou ao impeachment da Presidente Dilma Rousseff em 2016, foram suscitados debates acerca da natureza do juízo realizado pelo Senado Federal brasileiro nos crimes de responsabilidade, ficando nítida a necessidade de uma delimitação teórica acerca da espécie de julgamento levado a cabo, seja ele político, jurídico ou misto. Neste trabalho, pretende-se realizar, por meio da fenomenologia hermenêutica, uma análise crítica do processo histórico pelo qual o impeachment foi incorporado no país, bem como explorar as correntes que apontam a natureza do instituto no Brasil. Finalmente, tendo em vista o contexto político-institucional específico do Brasil, o presente artigo realiza um debate teórico a respeito do impeachment para que se encontre uma solução satisfatória aos parâmetros do Estado Democrático de Direito instituído pela Constituição Federal de 1988.

Мочекаменная болезнь и остеопороз — две грани одной проблемы

Мочекаменная болезнь и остеопороз являются не только медицинской, но и социальной проблемой. Имеются общие патогенетические механизмы развития этих заболеваний, одним из которых является возникновение вторичного гиперпаратиреоза на фоне гипокальциемии и дефицита витамина D, приводящего к усилению костной резорбции и, как следствие, нарушениям структурно-функционального состояния костной ткани, развитию мочекаменной болезни. В статье приводятся клинические примеры различной тактики лечения пациентов в зависимости от степени изменений минеральной плотности костной ткани, наличия риска и анамнеза переломов при сочетании с мочекаменной болезнью.

Macronutrients Intake and Stomach Cancer Risk in Iran: A Hospital-based Case-Control Study

Background: Stomach cancer (SC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Dietary risk factors of SC are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between macronutrient intakes and the risk of SC. Study design: A hospital-based case-control study. Methods: The data were obtained from a hospital-based case-control study conducted at the Cancer Institute of Iran from 2010 to 2012. Patients were 40 years or older and were diagnosed with SC in less than one year with no history of any cancers. On the other hand, the controls were healthy subjects who were caregivers or visitors of the patients. Demographic characteristics were collected using a structured questionnaire through face to face interviews by trained interviewers. Dietary data were obtained using a validated Diet History Questionnaire. The age and gender-adjusted odds ratios (ORs), as well as the adjusted ORs of age, gender, energy, education, smoking, and body mass index, were reported for continuous and tertiles of intakes. Results: Totally, 207 SC patients and 217 controls participated in this study. In the full adjusted model, after comparing the highest tertiles to the lowest ones, the intake of sucrose (OR: 2.94; 95% CI: 1.66-5.19; P-trend<0.001), protein (OR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.17-3.55; P-trend=0.011), cholesterol (OR: 2.22; 95% CI: 1.28-3.85; P-trend=0.005), and percent of calories from protein (OR: 3.09; 95% CI: 1.69-5.61; P-trend<1.001) showed a positive significant association with SC. Moreover, a significantly negative association was found between the percent of calories obtained from carbohydrates and SC (OR: 0. 57; 95% CI: 0.33-0.98; P-trend=0.015). Conclusion: The findings in this study showed that macronutrient intakes might be associated with the etiology of SC in Iran.

Prevalence of diaper rash and associated factors among babies aged 0 to 24 months in Adama Administrative City, Central Ethiopia: A cross sectional study

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of diaper rash and identify associated factors with diaper rash among children between 0 and 24 months of age in Adama Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted with mothers using structured questionaries during face to face interview to assess risk factors associated with diaper rash. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 and Chi-square test was used to establish the association between diaper rash and socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics at p-value <0.05. Multivariate logistic regressions are used to test the significancy of risk factors. About 62.5% (235/376) of children in the study had experienced diaper rash. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that diarrhea (AOR=0.424; 95%CI=0.203-0.902; P=0.032), food types consumed by baby (AOR=0.21; 95%CI=0.050-0.882; P=0.033), use of barrier cream (AOR=0.012; 95%CI: 0.005-0.029; P=0.000) and frequency of diaper change (AOR=3.174; 95% CI=0.068-9.438; P=0.038) were among factors associated with diaper rash. In this study changing diaper frequently, using cream and breast feeding with baby formula milk were identified as a factor that reduce the prevalence of diaper rash whereas diarrhea was identified as a risk factor that aggravate diaper rash. Thus, educating mothers on the importance of breast feeding, use of cream and diaper change is useful.  Key words: Diaper rash, prevalence, babies.

DA MEDIAÇÃO E CONCILIAÇÃO EM AUDIENCIAS TRABALHISTAS NO CONTEXTO PANDÊMICO

Social rights are fundamental rights, with praise in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, being the State responsible for its supervision and effectiveness.However, it is well known that it is often not fully enforced, which is why the Labour Court becomes a very important body for achieving legal certainty not only for workers' rights, but also for analysing the contradictory and broad defence, by employers.As a means of resolving this dispute between the parties, conciliation and mediation are one of the most valuable ways of trying to pacify this dispute and of possibly satisfying social rights that have not been applied, and that in relation to the latter is the best to be used as correct terminology, adding the fact that Labor Justice is the pioneer in its application in the law of the fatherland.This method has also been of great value in the present times, providing legal certainty between the parties, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for continuity of the work of the Judiciary Branch in a remote way, noting further, that in relation to the production of evidence, it is divergent, but in relation to mediation in the audience, there is no doubt that it is agrand method to be applied.To achieve the specific objectives, the method used was deductive, starting from the general premise on the concept of Mediation and Conciliation and for that, bringing this approach on social rights, as a fundamental right andits historical aspects.

Are You There?

&#x0D; With or without cameras on, my students always feel out of reach to me. There is a screen--and a few boroughs, in some cases even states or countries--between us. I can’t tell how they’re feeling; I can’t watch their faces or their hands as they work on a piece for our writing class. The whole enterprise has started to feel epistolary. I am never sure if my recipient is going to respond, or if they’ve even received what I’ve sent them. I leave comments that may or may not be read. I send emails that sit in student inboxes, stacked between hundreds of others. In Zoom class, every question I ask feels like a million questions, and a gamble: Will you respond aloud, or will I see a response pop up in the chat? Do you need time to think? Is your internet slow? Are you there? &#x0D;

WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION AND FEMALE LECTURERS’ TASK PERFORMANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN IMO STATE, NIGERIA

This study examined work-life integration and female lecturers’ tasks performance in government-owned higher educational institutions in Imo state. The correlational research design was adopted for the study. Two research questions were answered while two hypotheses were tested. The population of the study comprised 1292 female lecturers in government-owned higher educational institutions in Imo State. The sample size of the study was determined using Taro Yamane formula. A two-stage sampling of proportionate and stratified random sampling technique was used to draw 406 respondents from the strata. Two sets of instruments titled; Female Lecturers’ Work-Life Integration Questionnaire (FLWLIQ) and Female Lecturers’ Task Performance Questionnaire (FLTPQ) were used for data collection. Face and content validities were ensured by experts including the researcher’s supervisor. The reliability coefficient of the FLWLIQ and FLTPQ was calculated to be 0.97 and 0.95 with the help of Cronbach Alpha. Multiple and simple regressions were used to answer the research questions. ANOVA associated with multiple regression and t-test associated with simple regression were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. It was found that self-management skills predicts female lecturers’ tasks performance by 54% in government-owned higher educational institutions in Imo state. Based on the findings, it was concluded that work-life integration is positively and moderately significant to female lecturers’ tasks performance in higher educational institutions in Imo state. It was therefore recommended among others that female lecturers should adopt SMART goal setting so as to manage their energy properly. Article visualizations:

EXTENDING E-ADMINISTRATION CAPABILITIES FOR SAFE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT USING ICT PERIPHERAL DEVICES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN EBONYI STATE, NIGERIA

This work investigated extending e-administration capabilities for safe school management using ICT peripheral devices in Ebonyi State. Specifically, it investigated the ICT peripheral devices available to principals of public and private secondary schools in Ebonyi State and the extent they use these peripheral devices in extending the functionality of e-administration platforms for managing safe school in the face of growing insecurity in secondary schools in Ebonyi State. Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population was 350 principals, while multistage sampling procedure was adopted to sample 120 principals (60 public and 60 private secondary school principals). A 10-item questionnaire which was divided into two parts was used to collect data for the study. Kuder-Richardson 21 and Cronbach’s Alpha method were used to establish the reliability for the two parts of the questionnaire and the reliability coefficients obtained were 0.98 and 0.87 respectively. Data analysis was done using frequencies and percentages for research question one, while mean was used for research question two. X 2 and t-test were used to test Ho1 and Ho2 respectively at 0.05 level of significance. Findings indicated that all the five ICT peripheral devices were not available in public secondary schools, but one of the five ICT peripheral devices was available in private secondary schools. Finding from Ho2 indicated that there was no significant difference between the mean ratings of public and private school principals on the extent to which they apply ICT peripheral devices to extend the scope of their e-administration platforms in secondary schools in Ebonyi State. Based on these findings conclusion was drawn and it was recommended among others that the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) should help by donating some ICT peripheral devices that can be used to enhance school management and safety of their children.
